January Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss21 of 21
"The Afterparty" | Series Premieres on Apple TV Plus on Friday, Jan. 28
Plot: A retelling of the same night told through a different character's perspective, each with its own unique visual format and film genre to match the teller's personality.
Our Take: I'm not sure who asked for a mash-up of Knives Out, "Big Little Lies" and This Is the End, but I thank them. I cannot wait for this murder-mystery comedy from the genius minds of Christopher Miller and Phil Lord (21 Jump Street, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) that unravels a high school reunion afterparty gone wrong, character by character. With a stacked cast featuring Dave Franco, Sam Richardson, Ben Schwartz, Tiffany Haddish and more comedic powerhouses, I'm preparing for eight episodes of hilarity. — Hannah
